The full integration of CATIA - Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) and CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD) allows user to retrieve Design block information, that was previously defined and assessed, to perform the detailed design of the structure. The application provides productive tools and environment in order to manage structural systems and connections and to create physical plates and shapes.

When used in a concurrent engineering with CATIA - Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) and CATIA - Compartment & Access (CNA), CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD) delivers ship builders with an end-to-end solution that covers the industrial design process from concept to functional to detail. In addition, and at the end of the design phase, SDD provides piece parts generation (bridge to SR1 Mechanical Product) for manufacturing preparation.
